Joey's Family - I grew up next door to Joey and he spent many days with our family. My parents welcomed him as another member. I have many memories of Joey but the one that I will remember most is his laughter. My sympathy to all of you.

LeeAnn:

I am so sorry to hear about 460. He was such a wonderful and fun person. I was just in Waverly last week at your old house. I thought of him while I was there. I remember all of the piggyback rides we got from him. I know he will be missed by so many.

If you need anything, please let me know.
